1. The story has no happy ending
The nice thing about films is that after the wedding and because of me, a nice dialogue afterwards, the end credits run. In real life, weddings and nice dialogues usually result in less nice dialogues at some point. Sometimes real crises.

The "That-should-be-it-now-feeling" rarely attacks both at the same time, but cruelly usually only one. This is not only a problem for the actually satisfied partner, it also does not feel nice for the nostalgic. Because firstly you have to make a decision and secondly you feel like a betrayer of your own ideals. What can help a little?
